Shot Time

Is there a set time during the day or night shots should be taken? I take my shot around 4:30pm.

Just as "justme53" said, there is no set time and, if necessary, you can change that day and time.  I used to do it on Tuesdays, between 6-7, depending on when I finished dinner.  I always do it on a full tummy.  Because of a change in my work schedule and that I always want to do the injuection the evening prior to my days off, this week I did it on Monday at 7, and next week I will do it on Sunday, which will be my permanent day.  Having Monday and Tuesdays off now, if I have any side effects from the injection I won't have to worry about missing work.

Good luck

There isn't a set time, per se, but once you pick a time that you think will work best for you, you need to stick with it. I do mine between  Fridays 7-8 pm and it works out pretty well. There was an interesting thread on this very subject that another forum member was also trying to find...people listed their shot dates/times and when, if at all, sx popped up. It was an interesting read and ALOT of variations.
